MARICELA B. MOORE

February 13, 1976-February 1, 2012

Mari Moore has gone to sing with the angels peacefully in her home on Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Mari was born on February 13, 1976 in Tucson, Arizona. She had been a resident of Douglas her entire life. She was preceded in death by the late Mary Moore and Walter (Pebbles) Moore. Mari is survived by her children Alina and Adriennne Moore and Cheyenne and Elijah Vega of Douglas; her partner in life of 15 years, Frank C. Vega of New York; brothers John H. Moore, Martin Moore and Andy Moore of Douglas and Tucson; sisters Belen Moreno and Debra Ann Moore of Douglas; father Hector Salinas of Douglas and mother-in-law Maria Gomez of New York. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Mari was a very free spirited and charismatic person who loved to make people smile and laugh. She was a caring mother to her children. She loved to sing and her voice would find its way into your heart. She loved cooking so much that she decided to become a sandwich artist at Subway. She loved her family gathering every year for the holidays. She will truly be missed but never forgotten.

A Rosary for Mari will be recited at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 9, 2012 at St. Luke’s Catholic Church. A Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 11:15 a.m. on Friday, February 10, 2012 also at St. Luke’s Church with Father Richard Tule officiating. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Pallbearers who will serve are Frank C. Vega, John H. Moore, Martin Moore, Andy Moore, Aldo Rico, Rolando Aguilar, Andre Olivas, Alfonso Moore and Alex Moore.

To My Loving Mari, wonderful mother to all of our beautiful children. You may be gone but you’ll never be forgotten. You’ll always have a special place in our hearts and especially in mine. I love you so much – I will never give up. Love from Frank “Daddy”, Lina, Dre, Shy, and Eli.
